Anyone happen to know if the fuses in a Sega Turbo (a cabaret, not that I think that matters) are slow or fast blow? The manual clearly tells me what size/amperage to use, but not if they are slow or fast. There aren't any markings on the fuses that help either. Most appear to be original and have seen some better days, so there's not much there to look at anyways.

I don't know specifically on Turbo, but in general in manuals/schematics it will specify if the fuses are slow-blow. ("S.B.") If it doesn't say, then they are normal (fast-acting) fuses.

Also, if in doubt, it's better to go with fast-acting fuses anyway.
 
That's what I was leaning towards, use fast blow until the machine tells me I got it wrong. Unfortunately there just aren't any indications in the manual which to use.
 
looking at the manual, it would see they go 4A, 3A, 4A, 3A and it doesn't seem to indicate SB

I've never had to deal with those on Turbos in the past, so I really don't know from experience
 
It was hard to see in the last pic since I hadn't cleaned anything yet, but the fuse label is there. No indication of slow blow there either. And to the really eagle eyed viewer, that 5A fuse is actually a 10A.

The one on the far right? I can't see the value, but it's definitely a slo-blo.

Putting in the correct value of normal blow fuses is certainly a good move.

I was close with the values. maybe I just read it wrong. they were like bubbles with part numbers, and then you had to go back a couple pages to the list of parts to see what the fuses are.

if that 5A fuse is for the power cord it should be SB. most games are 3A SB, so you might be able to get away with that instead.
